Rep Power: 292 thanks for all the comments keep em coming !!!!
these are the rims im going with for now they are 19s
as for the paint cost
this is NOT including the silver,white or clear.
Just the color cost $550 a gallon (what the body shop said anyway)
it took a little more then a pint to paint just those parts so far....
expensive yes but i hope its worth it when its done.

Rep Power: 0 Wow.. looks like it's going to be one very nice paint job.
After all that, I'd be afraid to drive the car anymore! My front end is dinged up with rock chips everywhere. I think most of us have that problem... bad paint chipping on the front end.
Can't wait to see it when it's done!

Rep Power: 0 Orange seems to be the custom color of choice on our 7thgens right now. I think if I was gonna get my car painted....I would probably do that olive green color that you see on a lot of EGs.

Rep Power: 0 I just watched the California Lamborghini meet video and saw (I think) this color on a Lambo in the video.
Sure looks nice. Nothing else out there like it that I can think of.

Rep Power: 292 A03 i agree.
i mean i have seen alot of orange civics and a few 7gens orange.
BUT i havent seen one in that color, alot of house of color orange or imola orange or like a 350z copper...
hopefully it will stand out a little.
